Either way, we need another PG type and big body soon.

If we could just get Matt Coleman to commit, that would be huge! C'mon, Matt, you know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it.
Huge? That would be monumental. It would begin an era that would solidify Jones as one of the greatest Monarch coaches of all time, considering the talent we're trying to pull in.
Hey...hoooo...woooooo. Pump the brakes big fella. I am excited as everyone on hereabout our direction (I, just for fun, looked up hotels for the 2017 Final Four), but to say JJ is a recruit away from being mentioned as one of the greatest coaches in Monarch history is a bit tough. His greatest accomplishment has been the turnaround and a NIT semi final game. Though we all know the effort that it took to rebuild, it doesn't exactly scream that we need to build his statue.
If anyone ever listens to SVP (can't stand Rusillo btw), he says that the term "best" and "ever" are combined way too much and we should enjoy the moment for what it is. Enjoy the ride and the legacy will be written for JJ.

There is an outside chance. We will make a case to the NCAA about his possibility of having one additional year. I would not count on it but there a chance.

At ODU no chance. At a power 5 team he'd get that and maybe another thrown on for good measure. Heck if he'd committed to UNC he'd already have his undergrad and graduate degrees and would be working on his PHD while playing for old Roy boy.

ODUTB...right on. You watch what happens at UNC. The NCAA will be so pissed at UNC, they will put ECU on probation.

RE: Austin Colbert is coming to ODU
Between Heinecke and multiple other Monarch's signing camp deals, the signing of Colbert, the rumors of others looking at coming to ODU, it's like a Christmas in May situation right now.
Everyday a new present to unwrap!

I bet he's referring to Dick Vitale who was on campus about 10 days ago.

Are you referring to Trey Porter? He was visiting yesterday, but it wasn't a secret. You don't have to spill the beans with a name, but are you referring to someone besides him?
And not known to be available? What's that mean? Doesn't have a release from somewhere yet?

I was referring to someone else (not Trey P) who as far as I know is still enrolled at another school and not known/announced to be transferring. However, I was not confident that the info I had was accurate and via PM's it now appears it was incorrect. That is why I threw it out there as a fishing expedition. Still it is hard to know for sure who is correct but at this point I would lean towards the good folks sending me PM's. If I can get it resolved with actual knowledge one way or the other I will happily tell what I can. If it had been (or turns out to be) true it would have been pretty significant so I will continue to follow it up. Oh, and again thanks for the PMs.

I you're referring to who I think you're referring to, unless it becomes public knowledge through an "authorized source", I'd leave it alone and let it play out one way or another... that's if there's anything to play out....lol

Alonzo Nelson Ododa actually announced his transfer yesterday.

Confirmation that this is who was being referred to upthread?
Or is it Snowden?

No idea. I doubt it was Ododa because nobody would have a problem dropping that name. The two names that come to mind that people would want to shroud with secrecy before "official" confirmation are DFS and Snowden so that would be my guess. Leaning Snowden because I think DFS seems to be toxic and not a Jones-type guy and I doubt he graduated. This is based on nothing other than (perhaps falsely) trying to read tea leaves.

Buffalo sportswriter said "not ODU" in regards to Snowden. Who knows though.
